Need the one image of planets distance for my kid.

[100%]

I am Not referring to this one http://www.aem.umn.edu/images/planets.jpg which is rather lovely.

Instead the one which shows the actual distance of planets and size.
and you end up scroooooooooolling like mad.
and feel very very lonely.
Thank you in advance.

For the sake of science.

Great research Tesco & Fishy2. Bravo.
Thank you heartedly.
I will use those in my dad to son explanation that ants do not necessarily need to be squashed speech.
However
the one i seek, was hot all over the interwebs a while back.
It was one so massive you gave up scrolling past the moon.
Maybe interactive.
I tried but can not find.

I have to compete against star wars.
My only other option is camping, fire & all the surrounds us.

http://www.panoptikum.net/sonnensystem/solarsystem.htm This may be the website you mean. Check the "Show Solar System True to Scale!" link on it.

If you've some time and inclination, you can make a pretty cool scale model over the distance of ~1km.

Thank you, all of you. Gave my kiddy the lecture about space today using some of the info you gave.
I did my best, it was fun. It is an immense project.
but some of his questions where beyond my scope.
